Dear all,

We are pleased to announce the upcoming online Physalia  course
"Phylogenetic Comparative Methods in R" (6th edition), taking place
from 15-19 June.

Course website: (
https://www.physalia-courses.org/courses-workshops/course44/ )

This five-day hands-on course is designed for advanced students,
researchers, and professionals interested in applying phylogenetic
comparative methods to investigate trait evolution, diversification rates,
and historical biogeography. Participants will work with ultrametric
(time-calibrated) phylogenies and real datasets, gaining practical
experience in generating chronograms, reconstructing trait evolution,
and interpreting results in an evolutionary context.

Each day combines lectures with practical tutorials in R, covering
topics such as: Generating and manipulating ultrametric trees
Bayesian and likelihood approaches for dating and trait evolution
Phylogenetic independent contrasts, phylogenetic PCA, and ancestral
state reconstruction Modelling diversification, adaptive radiations, and
historical biogeography Students will work on instructor-provided datasets
and are encouraged to bring their own data for guidance on setting up
analyses. The course assumes basic knowledge of molecular evolution and
some familiarity with R, though guidance will be provided throughout.
